Subject: DDS fields and bad documentation


> This is about type X (a.k.a Alphabetic) fields.
> Most documentation says that these fields will allow A-Z, a-z, comma,
> period, - and blank.
>
> In some IBM documentation it also adds:
> "... Some special characters for World Trade countries are also
> acceptable."
>
> see:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr/BOOKS/CO2E2001/15.6.12.1
> table 48
>
> Now my question is: what exactly does that mean? What characters are
> "special", and which of these are acceptable as input?
> Can anyone give me a specific list of all acceptable characters?
>
> Much appreciated.
